Every thing I see says I should have a message and email app but I don't. I have a LG V10. Could that be the problem? I am getting notifications on a hit and miss bases.
Yes. The email and messages app is only present with a Samsung phone and the only work with the corresponding Samsung apps. You should receive notifications from Gmail or textra just fine. Maybe it helps to install Android Wear aß well.
if no message app, how to reply message? can only get notification?
Hi
I have a galaxy S5 and gear S2, but the same problem. Does it work with S5 ?
Same problems with Huawei Ascent Mate 7.
No messages and mail apps on circle.
But when notifications come, you can reply, or show the messages lists easily by pressing reply. Same if you use Textra, GoSms, Whatsapp.....
Same here with Huawei mediapad x2. But I can still write message to someone by browsing to their number on Buddies app

Same problem on Nexus 6
Got no email or message app in the circle. can send messages from buddy screen but not receiving ANY notifications.
Not getting anything from GMail, Yahoo Mail, Whatsapp or hangouts. Is the Gear S2 better suited to Samsung phone? if so might have to consider sending back for refund.
Any ideas how to get notifications for ANY Apps
?

In Samsung Gear Manager there is Notifications (2nd option). In there you find a list of apps for which you have enabled notifications.

Guys i answer tour questions because i try to use my s2 classic with a samsung s4 and with lg g3 ; every time that the s2 is paried with a new smartphone (samsung or not), you must do the restoration of data (partial or total) . If you pair with a samsung galaxy the sms will be upload , with an other the app will be not upload . The same thing with other app or options . The solution ? Buy a galaxy used only for these like me ?

I think it's cheaper to change the watch than get another Samsung device just so to pair it with your watch [emoji6]

Looking at a galaxy gear watch and I know I have to tinker to get it to work but I was wondering which features will work and which won't ? I know weather and s voice doesn't work obviously but would I still be able to change songs and receive regular notifications for texts and emails and Facebook ?

Hi,
Maybe take a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2596455.
And about notifications: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2649884 (last post).
I currently use Sony Smartwatch 3 and Im planning to buy the Gear S2 and Im using moto x pure edition. Anyone got the same device with S2 paired on it? Hows your overall experience so far?
Im a bit concerned about the apps and notifications. Does it really show the notifications whenever it arrives on the phone? Im interested about the following app:
Whatsapp, Viber, Fb Messenger
I mainly use these app will it show notifications on the watch? Can I reply to these apps via watch?
Spotify
Can I press back or next & volume up and down just like I can with the Android Wear? Does it show the title of the song and the album art?
Phone Dialer
As we know Samsung is using their own dialer but in my case I have the AOSP dialer came default, if ever someone will call will I be able to swipe answer or reject from watch?
Calendar
As we know samsung has its own Calendar app, will I be notified with the Google Calendar showing the details and etc or the calendar reminder?
Textra
As we know samsung is using their own SMS app, but Im using Textra will or will the watch be able to detect that I got a message and I can read and reply via watch?
Gmail
As we know samsung is using their email app, will gmail be notified and the watch can detect that ita an email and Icam reply via watch?
I know there are other things that are not included here and if anyone can mention it please do.
Thanks!

I have a moto x pure edition as well, and haven't had any issues with notifications at all yet. Even in remote connection mode.
One thing to keep in mind, you can't put milk music on the watch since you don't have a Samsung phone.
I can reply to texts sent on my WiFi only gear s3 but there is no app to text people? This is a huge deal to me as it was one of the #1 uses I had for my old moto 360 (at work its easier to hide a watch than a phone when texting)
Edit: figured it out. Guess it is in the phone call app. Odd that it isn't separate.
You can. Go to Messages app in the phone. It's preloaded in the watch.
I think his problem is the same as mine. with android wear you could say text so and so and it would do so, or go to the messenger app or texting app of your choice and go about it from there. With Tizen you can request with s voice to text but it says sms isnt available (wtf?), so you need to go to the contacts, search through and find the one you want and then initiate it from there

Yeah on android wear I had dextree messenger. All I did was hop in the app and it had all my texts for every number on my phone shown. On the gear s3 I have to go into contacts, find the contact I want, then select text. Just seems like an individual texting app would be nice to have and I was shocked there wasn't one
S voice to text works. You can say something like "Text John Doe hello" and it'll send it. Not sure what's wrong with yours.

Again, there IS one. The app is called Messages in your watch. Are you saying you can't find that app on your watch?
---------- Post added at 04:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 AM ----------
I have the phone app but not the messenger app. And when you ask s voice to text someone it says SMS service is not available
To clarify I'm OK a US model of the classic
I have it on my Canadian wifi version. See pic. https://goo.gl/photos/mPP86DAgK5wzBoAD8
I have but can send sms only.. with my old LG watch r I can say "send whatsapp message Luisa hello"
This not possible in gear s3 and I think and hope Samsung can fix

thats android wear though....s voice is the abomination that further makes google now shine more than it already does
also bendez1985, what phone do you have it paired with? I am curious if it will only show for those connected to a samsung device for some reason

Yeah my s3 frontier (US) does not have that app. I do use mine with a nexus 6 so that could be why.
is possible see new samsung voice bixby in gear s3? i think this will improve gear s3 so much
Hey there,
as a user of both Gear S3 and LG Watch Urbane I've made a surprising discovery.
Namely, when you have Android Wear installed on your phone, some apps gets a functionality boost on your Gear S3
You can e.g. reply to Hangouts messages (via the notification) on the GearS3 directly from the smartwatch, using keyboard, smileys or voice input!!!
Without the AW app on your phone you could only click reply/show message in the GearS3 notification which caused a trigger action on your phone -- you could not reply directly from your smartwatch
Note:
Do not try to configure your GearS3 with the AW app, it won't work. Just install the app, run it and when it asks to configure your smartwatch just exit it.
This has been discussed in the past (some thread somewhere here) but nice to have a reminder.
well I couldn't find it and therefore added it here
I'm new to the Gear series so really appreciate this tip OP! Cheers! ?

Thanks for this will try.
Interestingly i use Android Auto and could not reply to WhatsApp, someone mentioned installing Hangouts, e voila works near perfect now.
Does this allow Google maps notifcations from the phone to gear S3?

I can reply to Hangouts messages on the Gear S3 withOUT having Android Wear installed, but will double check.
With yes, without no

Sorry I typoed, I can reply to Google Hangouts messages withOUT Android Wear installed...just did it.
Wouldn't work with S-Voice but canned replies and drawing letters worked.
I am on a Oneplus 3T
Maybe they changed something... It didn't work a month ago on my s7
I've only had my Gear S3 a few days, but it is working. Pretty sure I did a reply in Allo too yesterday.
Do you know what are the Android wear apps compatible with the Samsung Gear ?
On my side, I have discovered the very good "WearMail for Android Wear" app which works perfectly with the Samsung Gear watches.
This Wearmail app is very interesting as you can configure all type of email accounts including Office 365 accounts and it sends the content of the received mails to your watch via notifications. Very good.

Tested multiple SMS apps (including stock, Textra, Yaata, Chomp) on my Chinese variant Huawei Mate 9 flashed with European ROM and finally found one that: 1) Consistently sent notifications to the Gear S3 (including sitting in the notifications until cleared/read); and 2) Allowed me to respond directly from the Gear S3 with a copy of the outbound message synced to the phone!!!
The app is QKSMS available for free from the Play store and does not require any mods to the Gear S3. I do not have Android Wear installed on my phone either.
If you try the app please post on your experiences.

Two questions:
- Reply to group SMS supported on watch?
- Do you get audible notifications of texts on watch?
Thanks
Also, noticed that there have not been any updates to the app since September 2016. So it is what it is, so to speak.

You are right -- It is a bit dated and I encountered some problems with the app itself. So I did some more testing and found another SMS app: "Mood" -- and I've tested that you can receive audible notifications. I have yet still to test group messaging.
Textra has always been my SMS app of choice but I don't get notifications on my S3. However the default app Android Messenger works just fine for notifications.
